Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup bacon grease (or olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (or kosher salt)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Wash, scrub, and dry the potatoes thoroughly. 
  • Rub bacon grease (or olive oil) all over the potatoes.
  • Rub salt all over the potatoes.
  • Using a fork, poke about 5-6 holes all around each potato.
  • Place the potatoes directly on a baking sheet; bake for about 45-60 minutes.
  • Right after they come out of the oven you want to release the steam. Using a sharp knife, make a long slit in the top of the cooked potato, then squeeze it open using a clean dish towel.
  • Enjoy as is, or serve with your favorite toppings!
